I hope the crank be ok to get machined, if not maybe my spare 3701488 crank will be ok. Will have a conversation with the local machine shop Tuesday. They have been in business for almost 100 years.

I am considering doing or having the engine rebuilt. Its been many years since I done and major engine rebuilding.

As Jerry pointed out, there most likely is residual medal fragments in the oil passages having the block dipped should take care of that.
